Back pain can quietly take over your day. Sitting, standing, sleeping, even simple movements can start to feel harder than they should. Ignoring it often leads to more stiffness, more limitations, and longer recovery.
Getting the right care early matters. A focused approach can help reduce pain, restore movement, and keep small issues from becoming long-term problems.
Kyphosis is curvature, or collapsing of the upper spine, which leads to what is often referred to as a โhumpbackโ.
โ
๐ฆด The leading cause of Kyphosis is Osteoporosis which affects far more women than men. Therefore, Kyphosis is more likely to develop in women than men.
โ
๐ฆด Symptoms can range from severe back pain and stiffness, while others may only experience rounding of the back.
โ
๐ฆด Kyphosis has multiple treatment options, but early intervention is critical for more conservative treatments, and to delay further health complications.
โ
Donโt let back pain keep you down. Call us ๐ฒ at 281-338-4443 and schedule your appointment today!

Embrace the Healing Power of Sleep for Chronic Pain! ๐ค
โ
Sleep isnโt just a luxury; itโs a vital component of managing chronic pain. Quality sleep allows your body to repair, recharge, and better cope with pain.
โ
During sleep, your body releases natural pain-relieving chemicals, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. Adequate rest also enhances your mood, mental clarity, and overall well-being, helping you face pain with a stronger spirit.
โ
Prioritize your sleep routine by creating a comfortable environment, maintaining a regular schedule, and avoiding stimulants close to bedtime. Remember, a good nightโs sleep is a step closer to managing chronic pain effectively.
โ
Sweet dreams!๐ซ๐ค

Space City Pain Specialists, located in Webster and Baytown, serving League City, Texas City, Clear Lake, Friendswood, and surrounding areas, has one goal when it comes to treating patients: The doctors donโt just manage pain, they treat it. To this end, the practice offers the newest pain treatment alternatives to medication management for chronic pain patients in the belief that drugs often mask the problem, and sometimes create an even bigger one.
Through expert diagnosis and a team effort, the doctors at Space City Pain Specialists leave no stone unturned when it comes to finding, and treating, the source of the pain, rather than just relieving symptoms. This allows patients to find long-term relief for chronic problems like osteoarthritis, low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, and foot pain, to name just a few.
Space City Pain Specialists offers the latest treatments, including the COOLIEF* ablation technique to prevent pain signaling and the mildยฎ approach for relieving low back pain. These two therapies have brought much-needed relief to patients whoโve been struggling with chronic back, neck, and knee pain.
The doctors at Space City Pain Specialists also stay abreast of the latest science and offer regenerative therapies to their patients to encourage tissue rebuilding and repair using stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and amniotic tissue. These regenerative therapies help patients heal from the inside out on a cellular level.
The bottom line is that the highly-trained and experienced doctors understand the limitations that pain can put on their patientsโ lives and work with them to find long-term solutions that meet their individual goals.
Donโt live with pain any longer. Call Space City Pain Specialists or use the online scheduling tool to book a consultation.
